Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catastrophizing is a type of cognitive distortion where an individual expects disaster to strike, no matter what. This is a classic example of "magnification," where the person exaggerates the importance of insignificant events (such as a mistake) as being disastrous. It does not directly relate to labeling/mislabeling, jumping to conclusions, or using a mental filter, which are other forms of cognitive distortions.
